[Farmall] Sheared & rusted out lug bolts...

[Barney Van De Weert]

If I was doing it, I would pull the axle and try to weld a 5/8 nut to whats left of the stud, if it's longer on the back side it would be better to try it there. By the time you get the nut welded on and let it cool it seems to loosen them then they can be turned out.

Subject: [Farmall] Sheared & rusted out lug bolts...

My super A has sheared several wheel bolts flush with the hub. A couple others have rusted to the point of requiring re-tapping.
 
I'm going to need the sheared bolts professionally removed. Whatever they're made of, they're trashing my best drill bits.
 
I presume I will need to oversize the new holes a bit. Any recommendations on what to use as a replacement for this type of application?
 
I was down to 3 bolts/wheel, which is fine for light mowing, but I sheared another the other day and I need to find a permanent solution.

Thanks

Greg
